Kane & Lynch: Dead Men on Xbox 360Although Kane & Lynch: Dead Men was only released less than two months ago for Christmas, Eidos have already stated a Kane & Lynch 2 sequel is in the works, and are hoping to make Kane & Lynch into a key franchise. To quote: “We’ve already got Kane & Lynch 2 in production, which just goes to show the belief we have in it as a long-term franchise.”

These developments are further backed after the company announced strong global sales of Kane & Lynch: Dead Men, which has sold over 1 million copies at retail. “We believe it has the potential to be a franchise for adults that is respected and loved in the same way as Hitman,” CEO of Eidos parent Jane Cavanagh told MCV. She continued: “The marketing spend reflects our confidence both in the title and the franchise, which has already been optioned for a Kane & Lynch movie by Lionsgate.” All this ruckus despite lackluster gameplay indicated by low-tier scores averaging at 67% on Gamerankings.com.

As for other games, publisher SCi also said that Pony Friends, launched in May 2007, has sold 600,000 units on the Nintendo DS, life-to-date. The publisher added that Tomb Raider: Anniversary for Wii, which released during the Christmas period, has “performed well” and has received reorders. — Via Nextgen

    Hey this is just so great that they are making a sequel. It had such a good story, and I love the way it felt like you were in an action movie. I especially like the huge dance club in Tokyo. Shooting bouncers across masses of dancers and having mass hysteria break out, and sometimes accidental shooting innocent people that just got caught up in the crossfire, with Lynch cussing up a storm and playing mind games with you. It is the best visual level of the game.
    They can still improve on the controls and have the guns feel more like the guns in “Call of Duty 4″ or even “Rainbow 6 Vegas”. The cover mechanism should also be improved. The next one should involve Kane’s daughter, she can be a trained mercenary who you can choose to play as. They should have a level where you go to Vegas and you shoot up The Luxor and then have the fight follow you as you make your way to the MGM diagonally across the street. Then the action can continue into the Studio 54 and then all the way to the Garden Arena during a concert. They could also include a Streets of San Francisco level where you shoot up the enemies from the back of the Van. It would be pretty cool to see the hilly and curvy road behind you while the sun is setting as you drive through the Bay Bridge or Golden Gate. They really have the potential to make this game a Perfect 10. Only time will tell.
